For once, the Bears benefitted from Mitch Trubisky’s poor play.
Trubisky, now the Steelers’ quarterback, managed just 190 yards passing and threw an interception as his team lost to the Patriots 21-18 on Thursday. The Patriots’ victory was huge for the Bears in their hope of securing the top pick in the upcoming draft.
The Patriots moved to 3-10, matching the Cardinals, creating a two-game cushion between them and the 1-11 Panthers with just five weeks left in the season.
